HEATER FOR CURLlNG-IRONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 496,565, dated May 2, 1893.

Application filed February 13 1893. Serial No. 462,014- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS HIPWELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at'Long Island City, (Astoria) in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Heaters for Curling-Irons, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a curling iron heater adapted to be placed upon the top of a lamp or gas chimney or globe and the objects of said invention are to so construct and weight the heating device that no attaching devices will be needed to retain the heater on the lamp chimney, also to adapt the heating device to various sizes of chimneys, and to direct the heat to the curling irons.

In carrying out my invention I employ a circular cast ring havingupwardly extending loops or perforated lugs through which the heating iron is passed, and I form with the circular cast ring radial integral arms with downwardly projecting studs, and I employ a sheet metal deflector of conical conformation with a long open center parallel with the curling irons to direct the heat to the curling iron.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improvement and the upper part of a lamp chimney. Fig. 2 is a cross section of the heater. Fig. 3 is a plan of the heater and curling iron, and Fig. 4 is an inverted plan of the heater.

a represents the upper part of a lamp chimney or its equivalent, a gas chimney or globe, which may be of any desired or usual conformation. The heater is composed of the circularcast ring I) with upwardly extending loops or perforated lugs b which are preferably formed integral with the cast ring. These loops or perforated lugs are adapted to receive through them the curling irons and to support the same. The circular cast ring I) is made with radial integral arms 0 with downwardly projecting studs 0 from their under face. 7

d represents a sheet metal deflector of conoidal conformation having a long open center at d. This sheet metal deflector is stamped or spun to shape and connected with the circular cast ring upon the ribbed edge e. The circular cast ring and its integral arms are to be of sufficient weight to overbalance the leverage of the curling iron handles as they project outward from the heater, said curling irons passing through and being-sup- 5 ported by the loops or perforated lugs b. The sheet metal deflector d acts to concentrate the heat as it passes upwardly and to direct the products of combustion through the central opening d and simultaneously to direct the heat against the curling irons which occupy a central position through this open center. The curling irons thus receive all the heat of the lamp, and it will be noticed that the radial integral arms a do not meet at the center andare not of sufficient width to obstruct the upward movement of the heated air, hence they do not become excessively heated or check the escape of the products of combustion.

The downwardly projecting studs 0 serve to prevent the heater being accidentally pushed off of the lamp chimney, as well as to accommodate the heater to various sizes of chimneys with the same objectin view. These 7 5 downwardly projecting studs also perform another office, namely as supporting points for the heater if the same should be lifted off of the lamp chimney-and set down onto a table or other support before the removal of the curling irons.

The curling irons can of course be withdrawn from the heater while the heater remains on the lamp or gas chimney or globe.

I claim as my invention 1. A curling iron heater composed of a circular cast ring with upwardly extending loops or perforated lugs to receive the curling irons, and with a sheet metal deflector connected to said cast ring and having an open center re- 9c ceiving such curling irons, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The curling iron heater composed of the circular cast ring having upwardly extending loops or perforated lugs to receive the 5.

curling irons, integral radial arms having downwardly pro ecting studs, and a sheet metal deflector connected to said cast ring and having a longitudinal open center reter receiving the curling irons, substantially ceiving the curling irons, substantially as set as set forth. IO forth. Signed by me this 7th day of February, 1893.
